Reference letter

So anyways after the letter/lunch/photo maintenance I am back for more blogging...

Here's the reference I wrote for myself (what a strange concept):

February 12, 2007

To Whom It May Concern:

This reference letter is provided at the request by Angel Tang, a Katimavik participant who worked for me from December 2006 – February 2007 as my office assistant in Chamber of Commerce. My experience with her for these three months has been an interesting one, as I supervise her and learn about her personality and work habits.

At the beginning, Angel presented herself as a person with a good amount of work experience. She had good communication skills and was able to present herself well in the interview. As well, she seemed keen on learning and had interesting insights on her work position.

Through working with Angel, I found her to be someone who can work very well on her own. This is an important skill for her work position, for Angel was in charge of the Blind River Travel Center and she was alone most of the time there. As well, Angel is organized and efficient, as she helped me with several projects and these traits were inevitable in her work performance. Moreover, Angel handles my instructions and suggestions proficiently, despite the fact that I am not always with her in the office. This makes my role as a supervisor easier and simpler.

Overall, Angel was an asset for the Chamber during the time she was working for me. She possesses many traits that would be beneficial to other companies. I therefore would recommend her to future employments.

Yours truly,

Betty Ann Dunbar
PresidentBlind River Chamber of Commerce

I sent the letter to Betty Ann, and now I am just waiting for edits. Hopefully I achieved that fine balance between being a glowing letter for myself and not sounding too cocky, haha.
